Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread - Pats @ Bills

[RobertWeathers]

Josh Allen is doing okay with it. Bills are getting favorable field position over and over. If we never throw it, bills will find some points.

We’ll need some ST or defense points to win if we won’t throw even with the wind.

Ok. Saying it will be impossible is not true then

I assume all the runs will eventually set up a play action pass...

Guy and Godhaux having a great game so far

 

[fnordcircle]

WHY MCDANIEL MAN NO CALL THROW BALL?!?!?

 

[sambam94]

so will the Bills kick to the Pats to start the 3rd?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

We should just go full wildcat if we aren't going to pass.

agreed, Buffalo has zero respect for mac being under center. Might as well go 11 on 11

To Harry ?

 

[Jim Beankie]

Damn you literally could see that punt just take a sudden hard curve down to the earth lol

Made me question whether or not we really had the wind, but yeah I'm like why aren't we doing PA at least.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

now Gunner is in to return punts?

Gunner understands the plan : do not touch.

Iwas gonna say, he's in to NOT return em

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

They are not having him throw for a reason.

And that reason is that there is no reason to take a risk at this point.

We are leading by 4 in very tough conditions. No need to push it.

 

[Ross12]

One positive way to look at this offensive approach is - if you just keep pounding it and you've got a lead the whole time, you're fine because you're winning, and eventually the Bills will get tired from being pounded for the entire game and will be gassed and start giving up bigger gains towards the end. So you CAN do it, if your defense can really lock down the other team for the most part.

 

[Betterthanmost]

Is Josh Allen not affected by the wind as well? What is this?

 

[Rob0729]

Mac doesn't have the arm for this type of weather yet.

Allen has a cannon of an arm and apparently he doesn’t have the arm for this weather either. It isn’t like he is lighting it up out there.

It’s the game to do it…. They know the run is coming and BUF was controlling field position for most of the half.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

so will the Bills kick to the Pats to start the 3rd?

No, we got the ball first in the 1st

 

[cmasspatsfan]

Jeez..if not for Harry's blunder...we would be up 11-3 at ñeast right now...grrrr!

Maybe 11-0

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

The bills keep loading the box, don't understand why they haven't called a few play-action passes!

 

[Jim Beankie]

I assume all the runs will eventually set up a play action pass...

Feel like I'm watching last year again.

Since most of the bills are in the box he wouldnt have to throw it very far

 

[n6249c]

I am a bit curious why there's still a lack of passing with the wind in their favor as opposed to in Q1. Seems to tell us they might not trust Mac to throw it in these elements, which is a bit concerning. I guess this amount of wind is uncommon - lots of snow and cold in Foxboro but 55mph winds aren't commonplace - but still...

I’d say BB expects they can and will win without throwing it. At the moment the score says he’s right, if that’s what he’s thinking.
